Stericap Aseptic Processing

Machine overview

Capping essentials

STERICAP is a rotary capping machine for low-medium speed requirements and is particularly suited to sealing aseptic products. Its compact design ensures air turbulence minimisation and offers the best conditions for H2O2 exposure and barrier system operations.
Conceived to provide high capping precision, STERICAP ensures the most remarkable performance. Compact and with a simple and essential design, it is a competitive solution in terms of speed, flexibility and ease of use. Available as one model, STERICAP can be fitted with 3 or 6 capping heads depending on customer requirements and features a broad range of application capabilities: from traditional aluminium caps, with or without flip-off, to the most sophisticated caps such as add-vantage, bio-set and monovial closures.

Machine highlights

  1. Minimal product contamination

    Very low particle generation system to avoid product contamination.

  2. Constant force

    Pneumatic circuit to keep constant applied vertical force.

  3. Force measurement

    100% measurement and control of vertical compression force.

  4. Multiple controls

    Various types of controls available to check crimp quality and flip-off cap colour.

  5. Data monitoring and tracing

    Coding unit and camera vision system for data reading and check.

  6. Fast size changeover

    Low size changeover and set-up time.

  7. Easy maintenance

    Little maintenance required.

  8. User-friendly HMI

    Equipped with Siemens PLC and with a user-friendly control panel.

Extreme sealing precision

Crimping is performed by rotating the vial against a single idle blade fitted at the centre of the carrousel. This system guarantees maximum sealing precision and minimises particle generation on the vial mouth.
